I made the move from iPhone to Android this week and although some of this must have changed since you made the video, it was incredibly helpful - just what I needed to get using my new phone comfortably. Thanks
Absolutely loved this video. I wasn't looking to change from iPhone to android but to understand my android phone. I am one of those seniors trying to understand the android phone I have started using. This video actually helps me as a senior person new to androids phones or any of the technology we have to use to survive in this day and age. Thank you so much.
My pleasure Nebula! Price certainly played into my choice to go with a Pixel2 instead of an iPhone. I also felt like I needed an Android device in my repertoire especially since iOS has not changed all that much and I still have a working iPhone 5 and iPhone 6. The increased flexibility and ability to customize on Android was also an attraction for me. Good luck deciding and thanks for watching!
I didn't want to hear about cool little features. I wanted to know the basics of using it, which your title suggested you would explain, but which you didn't explain.
I just switched from an iPhone 5S to a Pixel 3 (yes I was extremely overdue for an upgrade!) and this video was very helpful, especially since you're using a Pixel 2 :)
I have had iPhone for over a decade. I loved iPhone but my 6S+ was overheating even after a new battery. I want a new phone but they are $1000 ! I bought the Samsung A20. $200. Switched the sim card. That's it. Like it so far. Still learning the muscle memory stuff.
Good video; just purchased my first smart phone which was Android. I wish you had made two separate videos instead--one for Android and one for Apple. It's confusing enough to learn one system.
Do you have a vid that simplifies using an SD card for an Android device? LOVED this video and I am an apple girl who just had to switch from 128 gigs with a zillion apps to this 16 gig Android (I don't even know what kind of phone it is lol) and I am so freaking out about not having all of my apps... sending the hubby today to grab me an SD card.....which one should I get and how do I transfer things over so they aren't duplicated I guess is my question-to maximize space on the Android with the bloat-ware. Any help would be greatly appreciated. New sub. Thanks for taking the time to compare and contrast to the Android for us who are used to iOS. God Bless
Great find. Been thinking about switching to my first ever android. Just not sure. Lol. I don’t want to have to use a bunch of extra apps. Like the email app, can join multiple accounts just like iOS?
I want to use this to teach my dad who has trouble remembering. Unfortunately he wants to make phone calls and text, that's pretty much it and no vids seem to cover this!! Including this one. :(
For phone calls, you open the Phone app. on most phones, it is usually a blue or green phone icon. Tap on it and you can dial what number you want to dial. For texting, open the messages app, enter the number/select which contact you want to text, enter your text in the text field, and tap on the send button. That's pretty much all there is to it.
I just switched to android from iOS...I downloaded most of all my apps that I had on IOS....the Google Play store has the number 16...which I believe is updates...but I dont see them needing any updates...so I can not figure out how to clear that number?? THanks
My team and I use iphones so we can sync our calendar, each of us can add, edit and remove calendar events and everyone will receive the updates. Now that I just got a Huawei Mate 20X, hpw can i go about doing this? Thank you
Well it depends on what calendar app you use. If coming from Apple you may use iCal? If iCal still doesn't sync with Google Calendar then you would have search the Google Play store for an app that supports iCal. I would try the Gmail app first though.
Says this is a tutorial for beginners but this is intermediate. Instead of any real basics he starts out doing something with the screens and saying it as if a beginner knows what he is talking about or how to do anything he is saying. How about first providing an entire glossary of all words, phrases and lingo, how about explaining all the icons in a phone, where is the explanation and tutorial for basic menu understanding, layout and navigation. All of that stuff has to be gone over and explained in detail before going into videos like this
Koch it depends on what you like more because some people may like the android style more and some people may like the iOS more but for me i prefer android more because not just its beautiful its more cheaper than iOS
So, my aged parents want the most basic easy to follow tutorial for an android smart phone. You cannot call this 'beginners' I am a teacher of 22 years... if you teach a beginner you don't do it like this. Call this 'elementary'. Beginners won't understand shite. Sorry. Everyone I know agrees..you go into an IT shop cos you don't know something.. they go 'bip bop boom' and say 'ok it's fixed'..no explanation how or why. I really feel for humanity.
Tap and hold on (ways?) didn't catch that last word. I'm in my late forties and a newcomer to Smart phones. I can't find a tutorial for that - everyone seems to assume you know the basics. The title didn't let me know this was really for Apple users to compare. Also - you talk too fast! Probably not for the young'uns though, to be fair. Just some feedback from an old lady.
tnx 4 sharing... but instead of comparing TWO devices at the same time...it would have been better (for this new user) if the vid' had jst talked about one or the other? i mean, i'am looking to buy my first smart phone (nevr had one before) and really had no idea which one was which in the "side-by-side" demo? this approach would be ok if ur audience already kinda knew wat was up? but as is... this seems like preaching to the choir cuz' the choir pretty much already knows wat ur talking about :)

Also a senior "trying to understand the android phone." Am still looking for a long, slow tutorial on it but this was a good start.
thanks for this quick tut AA, I am thinking about making the switch as new iphone so expensive

Me too
I just switched from IPhone to Samsung due to IPhone being to expensive after using it for a decade
@@MultiScotty24 how is your experience
Not bad at all. I still have an ipad and apple tv. But not missing the iphone
I didn't want to hear about cool little features. I wanted to know the basics of using it, which your title suggested you would explain, but which you didn't explain.
It's 2024. I've been an iPhone user for 15 years. Just switched to Android. This is still very helpful in 2024.
Thanks, that's great to hear! I'm glad it helped!
I just switched from an iPhone 5S to a Pixel 3 (yes I was extremely overdue for an upgrade!) and this video was very helpful, especially since you're using a Pixel 2 :)
I am switching from an iPhone 5S to a OnePlus 7 Pro

Great video Anson! Greatly relieved my anxiety over switching over!
Great to hear!
Extremely helpful, especially comparing and contrasting to IOS.
Thank you for making and sharing.
Great to hear, I’m glad it was helpful!

You're welcome, good luck with the transition!
Ryan Johnson did you get the phone 😂😂

Rin Jin are you still using the galaxy? How do you like it? Switching from iPhone to galaxy s10e in a couple weeks and I hope I like it!
Excellent video. This will be quite helpful for me as I am from iOS to android today.
Thanks so much for this!!! I really enjoyed this video. So helpful!
Wonderfully clear and direct. Thank you.
I have had iPhone for over a decade. I loved iPhone but my 6S+ was overheating even after a new battery. I want a new phone but they are $1000 ! I bought the Samsung A20. $200. Switched the sim card. That's it. Like it so far. Still learning the muscle memory stuff.
This is a great video !!! Can you make an updated version? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
im so glad i switched to android years ago, the iphones icons thing is a mess and we can't put them where they want.
Yeah iOS is a limited mess
Thank you so much!! I am switching to a galaxy A20 and I just want more customization!!! THANK YOU!!!
Android gang

SO USEFUL MAN THANKS!
Very useful . Looking forward to part two
just got this first-smot-fon - - - -having trouble - - part of your thingy HELPED - -thanks
This was very useful, thanks.
I’m so used to hitting home button on my iPhone to get to main screen. Locks screen on android though. Is there a similar act for android?
It seems like iOS has more things on the screen at once with mostly icons, whereas Andriod uses layered information displays with text-based options.
Ima switch to Android soon.
So glad to see you play ark!
This video is amazing! Very helpful. Thank you
Hi Anson, it was really useful intro you provided, I shall certainly subscribe to your channel
Thanks! I'm glad it helped!
Thanks so much I am switching from 6S to P2020 and this gave me a massive head start in learning how to use the OS
I want to use this to teach my dad who has trouble remembering. Unfortunately he wants to make phone calls and text, that's pretty much it and no vids seem to cover this!! Including this one. :(

I'm surprised ark gas been out that long
Android is waaaay too busy and overkill.

Koch it depends on what you like more because some people may like the android style more and some people may like the iOS more but for me i prefer android more because not just its beautiful its more cheaper than iOS
Android . ios is shit
I can't believe you didn't mention how to change or close apps, eg 'task manager' on windows :(

Then you should look for two videos each one specific to Android and to iOS
Have you noticed most of these 'beginners' videos never cover how to use your smartphone... as an actual phone?
interesting
Happiness day Android
I like the Bible ion
Some of us Elderly people need a little more help on how to use the phone from the start .
why do you have a million apps!?!?
Where's a video that can teach a stubborn 60 something year old person how to use and do different things with a android smartphone? Thanks.
This is that video.
Legit!???????
For beginners eh? Lost me in the first 2 minutes - no use whatsoever!
